Boxed Warning
Differentiation syndrome

Differentiation syndrome with or without concomitant hyperleukocytosis has been reported with gilteritinib therapy; this syndrome may be life-threatening or fatal if not treated. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of differentiation syndrome such as pyrexia or elevated body temperature, dyspnea, hypoxia, pulmonary infiltrates, pulmonary edema, pleural or pericardial effusion, rapid weight gain or peripheral edema, rash, hypotension, or renal dysfunction. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, start corticosteroid therapy (e.g., dexamethasone 10 mg IV every 12 hours or PO/IV equivalent) and closely monitor hemodynamic parameters until improvement. Taper corticosteroids after symptoms resolve; premature corticosteroid discontinuation may lead to symptom recurrence. Interrupt gilteritinib therapy if severe signs or symptoms persist after 48 hours of corticosteroid therapy. Resume gilteritinib therapy when sign and symptoms of toxicity resolve to grade 2 or less. Differentiation syndrome may occur as soon as 1 day and up to 82 days after starting gilteritinib.

Description

Oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor
Used for the treatment of adult patients who have relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia that is FLT3 mutation-positive
Differentiation syndrome has been reported

Dosage And Indications
For the treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
NOTE: Gilteritinib has been designated an orphan drug by the FDA for the treatment of AML.
For the treatment of relapsed or refractory FLT3 mutation-positive AML.
NOTE: Patients should be selected based on the presence of FLT3 mutations in the blood or bone marrow. Information on FDA-approved tests is available at www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.
Oral dosage Adults

120 mg orally once daily. Continue therapy for a minimum of 6 cycles in patients who do not have unacceptable toxicity. Coadministration of certain drugs may need to be avoided or dosage adjustments may be necessary; review drug interactions. Therapy interruption, dose reduction, or permanent discontinuation may be necessary in patients who develop toxicity. At a median follow-up, 17.8 months (range, 14.9 to 19.1 months), the median overall survival (OS) time was significantly improved in adult patients with relapsed or refractory FLT3-mutated AML who received gilteritinib compared with chemotherapy (9.3 months vs. 5.6 months; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.64; 95% CI, 0.49 to 0.83; p = 0.0004) in a multicenter, randomized (2:1), phase 3 trial (n = 371; the ADMIRAL trial). Chemotherapy consisted or high-intensity therapy with mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine (MEC; n = 33) or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, fludarabine, cytarabine, and idarubicin (FLAG-IDA; n = 42) or low-intensity therapy with low-dose cytarabine (n = 17) or azacitidine (n = 32). In a subgroup analysis, OS was also significantly improved in patients who received gilteritinib compared with either high-intensity (HR = 0.66; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.93) or low-intensity (HR = 0.56; 95% CI, 0.38 to 0.84) chemotherapy [63787]

Dosing Considerations
Hepatic Impairment

Specific guidelines for dosage adjustments in mild (Child-Pugh class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh class B) hepatic impairment are not available; it appears that no initial dosage adjustments are needed. Gilteritinib has not been evaluated in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C).[63787]

Renal Impairment

Specific guidelines for dosage adjustments in mild (creatinine clearance (CrCl) of 50 to 80 mL/min) or moderate (CrCl of 30 to 50 mL/min) renal impairment are not available; it appears that no initial dosage adjustments are needed. Gilteritinib has not been evaluated in patients with severe renal impairment (CrCl of 29 mL/min or less).[63787]

Drug Interactions

Abacavir; Dolutegravir; Lamivudine: (Moderate) Monitor for increased toxicity of dolutegravir if coadministered with gilteritinib. Concurrent use may increase the plasma concentrations of dolutegravir. Dolutegravir is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP and gilteritinib is a P-gp and BCRP inhibitor.
Adagrasib: (Major) Avoid concomitant use of adagrasib and gilteritinib. Concurrent use may increase gilteritinib exposure and increase the risk for QT/QTc interval prolongation and torsade de pointes (TdP). If coadministration is required, frequently monitor for gilteritinib adverse reactions. Interrupt therapy and reduce the gilteritinib dose if serious or life-threatening toxicity occurs. Additionally, consider taking steps to minimize the risk for QT/QTc interval prolongation and TdP, such as electrolyte monitoring and repletion and ECG monitoring. Gilteritinib is a CYP3A substrate, adagrasib is a strong CYP3A inhibitor, and both medications may prolong the QT interval. Coadministration of a strong CYP3A inhibitor increased the gilteritinib AUC by 120% in a drug interaction study.
Afatinib: (Moderate) If the concomitant use of gilteritinib and afatinib is necessary, monitor for afatinib-related adverse reactions. If the original dose of afatinib is not tolerated, consider reducing the daily dose of afatinib by 10 mg; resume the previous dose of afatinib as tolerated after discontinuation of gilteritinib. The manufacturer of afatinib recommends permanent discontinuation of therapy for severe or intolerant adverse drug reactions at a dose of 20 mg per day, but does not address a minimum dose otherwise. Afatinib is a P-gp substrate and gilteritinib is a P-gp inhibitor. Administration with another P-gp inhibitor, given 1 hour before a single dose of afatinib, increased afatinib exposure by 48%; there was no change in afatinib exposure when the P-gp inhibitor was administered at the same time as afatinib or 6 hours later. In healthy subjects, the relative bioavailability for AUC and Cmax of afatinib was 119% and 104%, respectively, when coadministered with the same P-gp inhibitor, and 111% and 105% when the inhibitor was administered 6 hours after afatinib.
Alfuzosin: (Moderate) Use caution and monitor for evidence of QT prolongation if concurrent use of gilteritinib and alfuzosin is necessary. Gilteritinib has been associated with QT prolongation.

Mechanism Of Action

Gilteritinib is a small molecule that inhibits multiple receptor tyrosine kinases, including FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3). It demonstrates the ability to inhibit FLT3 receptor signaling and proliferation in cells exogenously expressing FLT3 including FLT3-ITD, tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations FLT3-D835Y and FLT3-ITD-D835Y, and it induces apoptosis in leukemic cells expressing FLT3-ITD. In patients with relapsed or refractory AML administered gilteritinib, substantial (greater than 90%) inhibition of FLT3 phosphorylation was rapid (within 24 hours after the first dose) and sustained, as characterized by an ex vivo plasma inhibitor activity (PIA) assay.[63787]
 
Gilteritinib inhibits 5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B (5HT2B), also known as serotonin receptor 2B, and sigma nonspecific receptors in vitro. Concomitant use of gilteritinib may reduce the effects of drugs that target these receptors.[63787]

Pharmacokinetics

Gilteritinib is administered orally. It is approximately 94% bound to human plasma proteins in vivo and is primarily bound to human serum albumin in vitro. The population mean (%CV) estimates of apparent central and peripheral volume of distribution is 1,092 L (9.22%) and 1,100 L (4.99%), respectively, which may indicate extensive tissue distribution. Gilteritinib is primarily metabolized via CYP3A4 in vitro. At steady state, the primary metabolites in humans include M17 (formed via N-dealkylation and oxidation), M16 (formed via N-dealkylation), and M10 (formed via N-dealkylation); however, none of these 3 metabolites exceed 10% of overall parent exposure. Single radiolabeled dose studies show 64.5% of the total administered gilteritinib dose is excreted in the feces. Of the total radiolabeled dose, 16.4% was recovered in the urine as unchanged drug and metabolites. The estimated half-life is 113 hours and the estimated apparent clearance is 14.85 L/hour.
Affected cytochrome P450 isoenzymes and drug transporters: CYP3A4, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), organic cation transporter (OCT)-1
Gilteritinib is a CYP3A4 substrate. It did not significantly inhibit CYP3A4 in a drug interaction study; gilteritinib increased the AUC of a sensitive CYP3A substrate by approximately 10% when coadministered. It did not significantly induce the multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE)-1 transporter in a drug interaction study; gilteritinib decreased the AUC of a MATE-1 substrate by less than 10% when coadministered. In vitro, gilteritinib is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP and a P-gp, BCRP, and OCT-1 inhibitor.[63787]

Oral Route

The time to maximum gilteritinib concentration (Tmax) is approximately between 4 and 6 hours after the dose in the fasted state. Gilteritinib exposure (Cmax and AUC) increases proportionally with once daily doses ranging from 20 mg to 450 mg (0.27 to 3.75 times the recommended dose). The mean steady-state Cmax is 374 ng/mL and AUC is 6943 ng x h/mL. Steady-state plasma concentrations are reached within 15 days of dosing with an approximate 10-fold accumulation.[63787]
 
Effects of food: In healthy adults administered a single 40 mg gilteritinib dose (0.3 times the recommended dose), the Cmax decreased by 26% and the AUC decreased by less than 10% when coadministered with a high-fat meal (approximately 800 to 1000 calories with 500 to 600 fat calories) compared to a fasted state. The median Tmax was delayed 2 hours when administered with a high-fat meal.[63787]

Pregnancy And Lactation
Pregnancy

Gilteritinib may cause fetal harm when administered during pregnancy, based on its mechanism of action and data from animal studies. Females of reproductive potential should avoid becoming pregnant while taking gilteritinib. Discuss the potential hazard to the fetus if a patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug. Although gilteritinib has not been evaluated in pregnant women, fetal toxicity occurred when pregnant rats received a gilteritinib dose resulting in approximately 0.4-times the exposure that was observed in humans who received the recommended dose. Fetal toxicity in this animal study included embryo-fetal death; decreased fetal body and placental weight; decreased numbers of ossified sternebrae and sacral and caudal vertebrae; and an increased incidence of fetal gross external (e.g., anasarca, local edema, exencephaly, cleft lip, cleft palate, short tail, and umbilical hernia), visceral (e.g., microphthalmia, atrial and/or ventricular defects, malformed/absent kidney, and malpositioned adrenal gland and ovary), and skeletal (e.g., sternoschisis, absent rib, fused rib, fused cervical arch, misaligned cervical vertebra, and absent thoracic vertebra) abnormalities.[63787]

It is not known if gilteritinib or its active metabolites are secreted in human milk or if it has effects on the breast-fed infant or on milk production. Because there is a potential for adverse reactions in nursing infants from gilteritinib, women should be advised against breast-feeding during gilteritinib therapy and for 2 months after the last dose.[63787]
